And all these things Noah did; as God said, so he did.

And Noah did everything which the Lord said he was to do.

And after seven days more, he sent the dove out again, but she did not come back to him.

Then Pharaoh sent for Abram, and said, What have you done to me? why did you not say that she was your wife?

Why did you say that she was your sister? so that I took her for my wife: now, take your wife and go on your way.

And Sarai said to Abram, See, the Lord has not let me have children; go in to my servant, for I may get a family through her. And Abram did as Sarai said.

And Lot went out and said to his sons-in-law, who were married to his daughters, Come, let us go out of this place, for the Lord is about to send destruction on the town. But his sons-in-law did not take him seriously.

And when morning came, the angels did all in their power to make Lot go, saying, Get up quickly and take your wife and your two daughters who are here, and go, for fear that you come to destruction in the punishment of the town.

Did he not say to me himself, She is my sister? and she herself said, He is my brother: with an upright heart and clean hands have I done this.

And God said to him in the dream, I see that you have done this with an upright heart, and I have kept you from sinning against me: for this reason I did not let you come near her.

And Abimelech said to Abraham, Why did you do this thing?

And the Lord came to Sarah as he had said and did to her as he had undertaken.

And he said to Isaac, It is clear that she is your wife: why then did you say, She is my sister? And Isaac said, For fear that I might be put to death because of her.

That you will do us no damage, even as we put no hand on you, and did you nothing but good, and sent you away in peace: and now the blessing of the Lord is on you.

And he did not make out who he was, because his hands were covered with hair like his brother Esau's hands: so he gave him a blessing.

And Jacob did seven years' work for Rachel; and because of his love for her it seemed to him only a very little time.

And Jacob did so; and when the week was ended, Laban gave him his daughter Rachel for his wife.

But when the flocks were feeble, he did not put the sticks before them; so that the feebler flocks were Laban's and the stronger were Jacob's.

And Laban said to Jacob, Why did you go away secretly, taking my daughters away like prisoners of war?

Why did you make a secret of your flight, not giving me word of it, so that I might have sent you away with joy and songs, with melody and music?

You did not even let me give a kiss to my sons and my daughters. This was a foolish thing to do.

Now Rachel had taken the images, and had put them in the camels' basket, and was seated on them. And Laban, searching through all the tent, did not come across them.

And she said to her father, Let not my lord be angry because I do not get up before you, for I am in the common condition of women. And with all his searching, he did not come across the images.

Anything which was wounded by beasts I did not take to you, but myself made up for the loss of it; you made me responsible for whatever was taken by thieves, by day or by night.

And Jacob said to his people, Get stones together; and they did so; and they had a meal there by the stones.

And Leah came near with her children, and then Joseph and Rachel, and they did the same.

And without loss of time the young man did as they said, because he had delight in Jacob's daughter, and he was the noblest of his father's house.

Now Er, Judah's first son, did evil in the eyes of the Lord, so that he put him to death.

And what he did was evil in the eyes of the Lord, so that he put him to death, like his brother.

And Judah said, Let her keep the things, so that we may not be shamed; I sent the young goat, but you did not see the woman.

Then Judah said openly that they were his, and said, She is more upright than I am, for I did not give her to Shelah my son. And he had no more connection with her.

And the Lord was with Joseph, and he did well; and he was living in the house of his master the Egyptian.

And his master saw that the Lord was with him, making everything he did go well.

And the keeper of the prison gave no attention to anything which was under his care, because the Lord was with him; and the Lord made everything he did go well.

Now after these things the chief servant who had the care of the wine, and the chief bread-maker in Pharaoh's house, did something against Pharaoh's orders;

And the captain put them in Joseph's care, and he did what was needed for them; and they were kept in prison for some time.

After three days Pharaoh will give you honour, and put you back into your place, and you will give him his cup as you did before, when you were his wine-servant.

But the wine-servant did not keep Joseph in mind or give a thought to him.

But Jacob did not send Benjamin, Joseph's brother, with them, for fear, as he said, that some evil might come to him.

And they said to one another, Truly, we did wrong to our brother, for we saw his grief of mind, and we did not give ear to his prayers; that is why this trouble has come on us.

And Reuben said to them, Did I not say to you, Do the child no wrong? but you gave no attention; so now, punishment has come on us for his blood.

And the servant did as Joseph said, and took the men into Joseph's house.

And put my cup, my silver cup, in the youngest one's bag, with his money. So he did as Joseph said.

And the children of Israel did as he said; and Joseph gave them carts as had been ordered by Pharaoh, and food for their journey.

Only he did not take the land of the priests, for the priests had their food given them by Pharaoh, and having what Pharaoh gave them, they had no need to give up their land.

Then Joseph made a law which is in force to this day, that Pharaoh was to have the fifth part; only the land of the priests did not become his.

Now when Joseph saw that his father had put his right hand on the head of Ephraim, it did not seem right to him; and lifting his father's hand he would have put it on the head of Manasseh.

And Joseph gave orders to his servants who had the necessary knowledge, to make his father's body ready, folding it in linen with spices, and they did so.

And all the family of Joseph, and his brothers and his father's people: only their little ones and their flocks and herds they did not take with them from the land of Goshen.

So his sons did as he had given them orders to do:

Now after the death of their father, Joseph's brothers said to themselves, It may be that Joseph's heart will be turned against us, and he will give us punishment for all the evil which we did to him.

You are to say to Joseph, Let the wrongdoing of your brothers be overlooked, and the evil they did to you: now, if it is your pleasure, let the sin of the servants of your father's God have forgiveness. And at these words, Joseph was overcome with weeping.

But the women had the fear of God, and did not do as the king of Egypt said, but let the male children go on living.

And he said, Who made you a ruler and a judge over us? are you going to put me to death as you did the Egyptian? And Moses was in fear, and said, It is clear that the thing has come to light.

And I said to you, Let my son go, so that he may give me worship; and you did not let him go: so now I will put the first of your sons to death.

And Aaron said to them all the words the Lord had said to Moses, and did the signs before all the people.

And Moses and Aaron did so: as the Lord gave them orders, so they did.

Then Moses and Aaron went in to Pharaoh and they did as the Lord had said: and Aaron put his rod down on the earth before Pharaoh and his servants, and it became a snake.

Then Pharaoh sent for the wise men and the wonder-workers, and they, the wonder-workers of Egypt, did the same with their secret arts.

But Pharaoh's heart was made hard, and he did not give ear to them, as the Lord had said.

And Moses and Aaron did as the Lord had said; and when his rod had been lifted up and stretched out over the waters of the Nile before the eyes of Pharaoh and his servants, all the water in the Nile was turned to blood;

And the wonder-workers of Egypt did the same with their secret arts: but Pharaoh's heart was made hard, and he would not give ear to them, as the Lord had said.

Then Pharaoh went into his house, and did not take even this to heart.

And the wonder-workers did the same with their secret arts, making frogs come up over the land of Egypt.

And the Lord did as Moses said; and there was an end of all the frogs in the houses and in the open spaces and in the fields.

But when Pharaoh saw that there was peace for a time, he made his heart hard and did not give ear to them, as the Lord had said.

And they did so; and Aaron, stretching out the rod in his hand, gave a touch to the dust of the earth, and insects came on man and on beast; all the dust of the earth was changed into insects through all the land of Egypt.

Then the wonder-workers said to Pharaoh, This is the finger of God: but Pharaoh's heart was hard, and he did not give ear to them, as the Lord had said.

And the Lord did so; and great clouds of flies came into the house of Pharaoh and into his servants' houses, and all the land of Egypt was made waste because of the flies.

And the Lord did as Moses said, and took away the cloud of flies from Pharaoh and from his servants and from his people; not one was to be seen.

But again Pharaoh made his heart hard and did not let the people go.

And on the day after, the Lord did as he had said, causing the death of all the cattle of Egypt, but there was no loss of any of the cattle of Israel.

And Pharaoh sent and got word that there was no loss of any of the cattle of Israel. But the heart of Pharaoh was hard and he did not let the people go.

And the heart of Pharaoh was hard, and he did not let the people go, as the Lord had said by the mouth of Moses.

But the Lord made Pharaoh's heart hard, and he did not let the children of Israel go.

All these wonders Moses and Aaron did before Pharaoh: but the Lord made Pharaoh's heart hard, and he did not let the children of Israel go out of his land.

And the children of Israel went and did so; as the Lord had given orders to Moses and Aaron, so they did.

So the children of Israel did as the Lord gave orders to Moses and Aaron.

And you will say to your son in that day, It is because of what the Lord did for me when I came out of Egypt.

Now after Pharaoh had let the people go, God did not take them through the land of the Philistines, though that was near: for God said, If the people see war, they may have a change of heart and go back to Egypt.

And I will make Pharaoh's heart hard, and he will come after them and I will be honoured over Pharaoh and all his army, so that the Egyptians may see that I am the Lord. And they did so.

Did we not say to you in Egypt, Let us be as we are, working for the Egyptians? for it is better to be the servants of the Egyptians than to come to our death in the waste land.

And the children of Israel did so, and some took more and some less.

See, I will take my place before you on the rock in Horeb; and when you give the rock a blow, water will come out of it, and the people will have drink. And Moses did so before the eyes of the chiefs of Israel.

So Joshua did as Moses said to him, and went to war with Amalek: and Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill.

So Moses took note of the words of his father-in-law, and did as he had said.

You have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I took you, as on eagles' wings, guiding you to myself.

And Moses said to Aaron, What did the people do to you that you let this great sin come on them?

And the sons of Levi did as Moses said; and about three thousand of the people were put to death that day.

So the children of Israel took off their ornaments at Mount Horeb, and did not put them on again.

And the Lord had talk with Moses face to face, as a man may have talk with his friend. And when Moses came back to the tents, his servant, the young man Joshua, the son of Nun, did not come away from the Tent.

And he made the washing-vessel of brass on a brass base, using the polished brass looking-glasses given by the women who did work at the doors of the Tent of meeting.

So all the work on the House of the Tent of meeting was done; as the Lord had given orders to Moses, so the children of Israel did it.

The children of Israel did everything as the Lord had given orders to Moses.

And put oil on them as you did on their father, so that they may be my priests: the putting on of oil will make them priests for ever, from generation to generation.

And Moses did this; as the Lord gave him orders, so he did.

Let him do with the ox as he did with the ox of the sin-offering; and the priest will take away their sin and they will have forgiveness.

Let him come to the priest with a sheep, a male without any mark out of the flock, of the value fixed by you, as an offering for his error; and the priest will take away the sin which he did in error, and he will have forgiveness.

And Moses did as the Lord said, and all the people came together at the door of the Tent of meeting.

And Aaron and his sons did all the things about which the Lord had given orders through Moses.
